minutes.)

By tramTake tram 10 in the direction
‘Westerpark’ from anywhere in the city. Get out at the end of the line (Van Hallstraat). When you get off the tram, you’ll see a 34-meter-high white
steel water tower. The Windketel is across from it, on the same square.

Central Station, which goes to Sloterdijk station via Leidseplein. Get off at
Van der Hoopstraat. Cross the street and then the first square
(Waterspiegelplein) to get to the Watertorenplein. (Takes about 3 minutes.)

By taxiFrom Schiphol airport, take a taxi to Watertorenplein. Amsterdam’s largest taxi company is TCA, which can be reached at telephone
number: +31 20 7777777. TaxiElectric is another good one. Both can be ordered online in advance.

By
bicycleBicycling is the cheapest,
easiest and most fun way to discover Amsterdam. Make sure to lock your bike
securely! You can rent bikes everywhere in Amsterdam. The nearest bike rental
is 50 meters from Hotel de Windketel at David Goliath Bikes, Waterspiegelplein
10-H. Open from Tuesday to Friday from 09:00 to 18:00, and on Saturday from
10:00 to 17:00.

By
automobileTake exit S103 (Haarlem)
on the West section of the ring road. Turn right onto the Harlemmerweg at the
traffic light. As you drive towards the center (Amsterdam-Centrum), after about
1.5 kilometers, you’ll see a large redbrick apartment building on your right.
Behind this building is the Watertorenplein where Hotel de Windketel is
located.

ParkingHotel de Windketel is located in an
automobile-free section of the Westerpark neighborhood. Parking is only allowed
on its borders, for example at the Waterkeringweg (2 minutes walk). Parking
costs 3 Euros an hour and 27 Euros for a 24-hour period. Parking places can be
scarce, especially in the evening.

A better choice is the 24-hour Q-park Westerpark
parking garage at Bleiswijkstraat 8, 3 minutes walk from the hotel. Parking
there costs 2 Euros for 35 minutes and 30 Euros a day. An alternative is to
park outside the ring road, for example at the P+R facility at Comeniusstraat
10 near Lelylaan train and subway station. You can also park at the P+R facility at Bos en Lommerplein, which is
only ten minutes by bus (number 21, direction Central Station) from the Watertorenplein where Hotel de
Windketel is located.
